....and we're back!

I've been off the blog for a while - something I hoped I wouldn't do.

Such is often the case with those of us who have ADHD...we start some new project, filled with hope and inspiration and, above all, determination that THIS time, we'll follow through on it, we'll stick it out, we won't just drop it off or drift away from it partway through.

...and then, a matter of hours/days/weeks later, it falls away from us, just like everything else has before. We feel bad, and associate that guilt with the project itself. We never want to touch it again, lest we be reminded of our failure. Sure, we move on to the next project...but with each new venture, the memory of our past failed attempts hounds us, making it harder and harder to believe in ourselves enough to get started again.

Well, hell.
